 Should Kids Get Paid to go to School?
from The Conversation Podcast
September 08, 2008
This year about 3,000 middle school students at low achieving schools in the District of Columbia will get paid to show up at school and do well. New York City and five other states are experimenting with cash for grades. Should kids get paid to go to school, behave well and get good grades? One educator says they're just preparing students for life where people get paid to work. What do you think? Also today, Washington Mutual (WAMU) ousts its chief executive. What needs to change at Seattle based WAMU, the nation's largest savings and loan? We hear more about the new CEO. Seattle's neighborhood plans have been a model for the nation. They're designed to give local residents the power to control growth in their neighborhoods. Tonight (Monday), the city council holds a public hearing on revising those plans. Plus, one of Washington State's top political reporters, David Postman, is leaving the Seattle Times for a job in media relations at Paul Allen's company Vulcan. He'll tell us why.

 Increase Your Sales without Spending a Dime on Advertising
from Bigg Success
August 21, 2008
We were at the Hilton in Las Vegas recently for the New Media Expo. When we checked in, they offered us an upgrade for $25. We thought that an upgrade just meant a better room. But we knew we weren t going to be in the room much. We d be at the conference all day and meeting up with people in the evening. So why upgrade? One evening, we were at dinner with some friends. One of them had upgraded. She got access to the spa and fitness center, a private breakfast, and more! As our friend described it all, we wished we would have gone for it! However, the employee didn t talk about the benefits (or even the features) when he offered us the upgrade. He didn t give us a single reason to do it. But at least he offered it; some employees don t even do that. Or there s the other extreme selling so aggressively that you begin to wonder if what you were thinking about buying is any good at all. You start to question the company and its products or services. We don t know if Hilton has an incentive to reward employees who are successful at selling upgrades. explains why upgrades are good for customers, employees, and the company. Thoroughly trains their employees to present the benefits of upgrades. We do know that We would have bought if the upgrade was presented how our friend presented it. What s in it for me applies to employees too! We still love Hilton! The power of offering more Every sale presents opportunities for more sales. One of those opportunities is upselling selling more of the same thing. According to the great book Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive, customers like choices that fall between what they need at a minimum and what they could possibly spend at a maximum. The authors say that if you give your customers two choices, they will likely choose the least expensive one. However, you ll make more sales than if you don t offer a second choice at all. The magic of 3 When you add a third product or service to the process, magic begins to happen. When that third product costs more than the other two choices, customers tend to go for the moderately priced product instead of the least expensive. One of my businesses was a heating and air conditioning business. We had always offered our customers service agreements we would schedule preventive maintenance of their furnace and air conditioner. We expanded that offer to include predictive maintenance (we automatically replaced inexpensive items that regularly broke down) and an all-inclusive program (our customers didn t pay for anything else). We found that we sold more agreements than we did before. About 8% of our customers bought the high-end service, around 12% bought the low end package, and the rest bought the middle one! So it pays to present your customers with a good better best offering. Your sales will skyrocket as long as you can get your employees to tell your customers about it! Do you have any examples to share of good or bad upselling? How about some suggestions on how your business upsells to customers? Share your stories with us by leaving a comment.

 Is the Cheapest Place for Gas Costing You Money?
from Bigg Success
August 18, 2008
We ve been talking about ways to save money. Today we want to look at something that is top of mind for many of us how to save money on gas. . . Follow the price of oil like a speculator Oil prices go up and down. If you knew the price of oil went up, you might want to hurry to fill up. If you knew it went down, maybe it would pay to wait a day or two. Now you can track the price of oil at Oil-Price.net. Large companies do it; why shouldn t we? Time your purchase While we haven t seen any research that proves this theory, it seems that gas prices often go up right before the weekend, especially long weekends. So test for yourself and, if you agree, try to buy your gas by the middle of the week. Serial rewards Some credit cards offer extra rebates (e.g. 5% instead of a normal 1% to 2%) on fuel purchases during an introductory period (e.g. six months). Consider this if you have good credit, employ a strategy where you get a new card and use it through the ramped up reward period. Then move on to another one. Loyalty programs Our grocery store chain has opened convenience stores next to their main stores. To drive (pun intended) business to these new stores, they re offering an incentive to their grocery store customers. For every $25 you spend on groceries, you get a 5 cent per gallon discount on gas at their convenience store. We saved 60 cents a gallon on a recent purchase. Shop before you shop Sites like Gas Buddy, Gas Price Watch, and Fuel Me Up help you find the gas stations with the cheapest fuel in your area. Gas Buddy seems best for our area; check them all out to see which is best for you. But before you do Is it worth the drive to save money on gas? We know people who drive out of their way to go to the gas station with the cheapest fuel. It seems almost oxymoronic, doesn t it? And aren t you glad we got the oxy in there? It struck us as an interesting question to prove out is it worth burning fuel to save money on fuel? Here s our calculation (click the image to enlarge) We found the prices for our area gas stations at Gas Buddy, as shown in the picture above. Using MapQuest, we determined that it would be a 3-mile round-trip from the Bigg Studio to the closest gas station, which charged $3.85 per gallon. This was the second highest priced gas in our area on that day. That figures! It s an 8-mile round trip to the station with the cheapest gas $3.66 gallon. Using our handy calculator (okay, we were able to calculate this in our head), we saw that we could save 19 cents per gallon by making the drive. That seems pretty significant. But here s the rub our car only has a 17.4 gallon gas tank. So if our tank was bone dry when we arrived at the gas station (a feat we probably come close to more often than we would like to think), the most we could save is $3.31. Suddenly it wasn t as interesting for us. We often work from our house so we don t really drive that much. But we have friends who drive a lot for work; they fill up their car as often as three times a week, so that would add up to over $500 for the year. Alright, it s worth continuing. In order to get the cheapest fuel, we would have to drive 5 more miles. How much does that cost? The best source we could think of for that is the Internal Revenue Service. They allow a deduction of 50.5 cents for every mile driven for business. Since we figured the IRS wasn t in the business of being generous with deductions, we figured if anything this might be a little on the low side. So we multiplied the 5 miles by the 50.5 cent cost per mile. It would cost us $2.53 to drive to the station to get the cheapest gas, where we would save $3.31 if our tank was completely empty. The most we could save by driving was 78 cents per fill-up. Even for our friends who fill up three times a week, this only translates into about $120 per year. It hardly seems worth it when you consider We ve assumed that our time isn t worth anything. Because it s going to take more time to drive out of our way for the cheaper gas. (Side note: Unless our tank was less than full, it would actually cost us money to get the cheaper fuel.) So here s what we concluded: Driving to find the cheapest gas doesn t really work for us. It might work for you, especially if you have a bigger gas tank. You can use the process we ve mapped out to run your own numbers. But don t forget to place some value on your time! However, in general, it s probably a waste of time and money to drive out of your way for gas, unless you can Combine that trip with other deals It just so happens that the gas station with the cheapest price in our area is in a retail zone. It may be the same for you. So if that area offers the best deals on the staples you need, and you combine that with coupons like the woman who feeds her family of five for as little as $10 a week, and fill up with the cheapest gas in your area while you re there, paid for by your ramped up rewards credit card that you ll pay off every month, now you have something going for you! Here s one more thought on buying fuel. It s a very simple one, but we recently got burned by NOT doing this. What does that say about us? Pay attention We pulled off the highway not long ago to fuel up. We turned right as we exited the off-ramp and turned right into the first gas station just off the highway. As we were filling up, we noticed the sign that showed the prices of gas. Then we noticed the sign at the gas station across the road. We could have bought gas for 20 cents a gallon less had we just made a left turn! Subscribe to The Bigg Success Show in iTunes. Subscribe to the Bigg Success feed.

 The incentives now are second to none
from YouTube :: Videos by YoChicago1
July 29, 2008
That's Dick Greenwood's take on what builders have been offering buyers in the suburban real estate market. Incentives, he says, have included an eye-opening $85,000 worth of upgrades on a $300,000 home, luxury cars, even 20 years of free golf. Greenwood, Vice President of Builder Marketing for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, is a 37-year veteran of the home-building industry who works with builders from Michigan to Wisconsin. The straight-talking Greenwood predicted that the over-the-top incentives will come to the city market this fall, but that builders are highly negotiable even now. The flat-screen TV of a few months ago may be just the opening ante in today's high-stakes poker game. Watch the first part of our candid conversation and stay tuned for more.

 Am I Paying My Salesperson Too Much?
from Bigg Success
June 26, 2008
Bigg Challenge Max is a business owner. He hired a salesman about a year ago. Max put him on the same compensation plan that his other sales people were on (a small base salary with an incentive). The guy has done a phenomenal job. Max s company is showing record sales and profits, largely due to this sales person. But here s the problem: this salesman is now making more money than Max. Max wants to know if he should adjust his salesperson s compensation. Bigg Advice What should you do about this, Max? Here s what we think Nothing! Here s why Is it costing too much? It is possible to over-compensate your people. You can t design a system where a small number of top performers win bigg while the company loses money. But that s not the case here. You re also making more money, Max. So if it ain t broke, don t fix it! Handle with care We ve heard of great sales people who were let go when a situation like this occurred. It does happen. But remember the nursery rhyme about the goose that laid the golden egg? This sales person is the goose. Handle him with care. Like the old Proverb says, Kill not the goose that lays the golden eggs. Your bigg payoff Don t miss the bigg picture. The bigg payoff for owning a business often isn t what you make each year. It s what you make when you sell it. You re building an asset whose value is based on the income of the business, sometimes called owner s cash flow. As your bottom line increases, so does the value of your asset. That s your bigg payoff. How you can get paid more You re making record sales and profits so you can probably afford to add another salesperson. Before you do, look at your infrastructure and capacity to make sure you can support an additional salesperson. If you can, then go for it! There s a good chance, if you do that, you ll be the highest paid employee of the company again! Model this employee We would suggest cloning, but okay we won t go there! So try to find someone with traits and characteristics similar to this salesperson. To do that, think about what you know about him. What industry did he come from, if he came from outside your industry? What experience did he have? What education? Are there any other clues you can get from his background? If you did a personality assessment as part of your hiring process, what did his look like? And ask your sales person if he knows anybody who might work out well. Bigg goal-getters know bigg goal-getters. Thanks Max for sending us your bigg challenge. We wish you bigg success! Subscribe to The Bigg Success Show in iTunes. Subscribe to the Bigg Success feed.
